OK, it doesn't. > How did you resolve issues such as different vocabularies having > different enumerations of music genres? Mostly, they are owl:SameAs. In some cases, they are owl:UnionOf, and in some case owl:IntersectionOf. It solved every problem we had, but conceivably, you could have genres that we weren't aware of existed. In which case we would have looked up in large ontologies managed by someone else. The archive/library/museum sector has a lot of useful stuff here. > Why was getting data out of those varied formats hard?

Yeah, but this was written in Java, it takes at least 10 times as much code ;-) Besides, I didn't say it was hard, I said it was harder than e.g. aligning genres. Which says a lot about how easy this is to do! :-) Cheers, Kjetil -- Kjetil Kjernsmo Programmer / Astrophysicist / Ski-orienteer / Orienteer / Mountaineer kjetil@kjernsmo.net Homepage: http://www.kjetil.kjernsmo.net/ OpenPGP KeyID: 6A6A0BBC
